Ah, yes, the ol' "Please update your video driver"
problem. We should have thought of this. Sorry!
It will help in the future if people mention up
front what exactly they are doing when they have
a problem. It's always better to have clues, as
Sherlock Holmes would say. :-)
Cheers,
David

That reminds me of the situation when, say, an airplane
breaks down and the problem is "solved" by putting everyone
on a bus: that works, but it will take you a long time to
get there...
Ciao,
